Portly suspect sought in violent bank robberies in DeKalb, Cobb
The FBI is asking for the public’s help finding a man charged in a pair of violent metro Atlanta bank robberies.
Authorities believe Lewis Jones, 35, was part of a three-man crew that hit the Navy Federal Credit Union on Briarcliff Road in DeKalb County on Aug. 12, 2014, as well as the Regions Bank on Cumberland Parkway in Smyrna about a month later. One of Jones’ co-defendants is already awaiting sentencing in the case and the other is awaiting trial, authorities said.
Jones is described as about 6 feet tall and 300 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. The FBI also released several photos of him.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS.
“There is a reward in this case and all callers can remain anonymous,” FBI spokesman Stephen Emmett said in a news release.
